The Floor is returning April 8 on Fox, and they just announced a "game-changing twist." The Rob Lowe-hosted game show features 100 contestants standing in squares with their expert category attached to it. Picked by a randomizer, contestants then face off with a category of their choosing that is connected to them. Whoever conquers the whole floor by the end of the season win $250,000. Ashley Washburn won Season 4 and shared how the twists, including America's Duels, the golden square, and the time boosts, all affected the game. In May 2025, Fox announced that The Floor would return for Season 4 and Season 5. Season 5 of The Floor will premiere on Wednesday, April 8, with a two-hour premiere at 8/7c. In the exclusive clip, linked below, Lowe shared that Season 5 has a"game-changing twist." Whichever contestant wins the most duels will have their spots on the floor frozen. It's called the territory freeze, and it's new for this season. Although the twist wasn't explained fully, the trailer said: "Freeze the Floor, Control the Game." |

Bill Kurtis, the veteran broadcast journalist known for his rich voice, is retiring from the irreverent National Public Radio news quiz show "Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!" after serving as its judge and scorekeeper for a dozen years. Kurtis, 85, said in a statement that was sent to NPR's editorial staff on Monday that there was no better way to stay young than to give voice to jokes written by people who are fearless in taking down anything and anyone. "What an incredible chapter 'Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!' is in my life," he said. Before joining the show in 2014, Kurtis was a co-anchor of "CBS Morning News" and narrated the true crime docuseries "Cold Case Files" on the A&E Network. A representative for NPR declined to comment on Tuesday beyond the note sent to the staff. "Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me!," which started in January 1998, is a weekly hourlong quiz program that asks contestants, including call-in listeners and celebrity guests, to test their knowledge of current events in a series of lighthearted, comic segments. Winners — and with Kurtis's generous score-keeping, the odds are often in contestants' favor — receive a custom voice mail greeting recorded by one of the show's regulars. The humorist Peter Sagal has hosted the show since its beginning. The show's first scorekeeper was Carl Kasell, another broadcast journalist with decades of experience. He died in 2018 at the age of 84. Kurtis, who had earlier narrated the Will Ferrell comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," quickly fit into the role, using his deep and full voice to find the comic potential in even the most mundane headlines. "Almost immediately Bill proved he had the right blend of gravitas and goofiness to succeed on 'Wait Wait,'" the note to the NPR staff said, pointing to his opening introductions each week. "I'm the voice of your aunt's sexual awakening," he would say. Or: "I'm the voice so creamy, you better take some Lactaid." And: "I'm the voice so rich, it makes you sign a prenup." On the March 7 episode, Kurtis introduced himself as a "voice so powerful, I command the clocks to spring forward." Sagal said in the same note to staff members that he could never believe that a newsman of Kurtis's stature would "stoop to doing our silly little show." After hundreds of shows, Sagal said, "I still can't quite believe it, but am incredibly grateful to have been wrong." Kurtis's last show will be May 23. |

The Price Is Right Tonight... TONIGHT! |

Howie Mandel gets pitched a lot of jobs. Hosting The Price Is Right Tonight was the first one he said yes to immediately after hearing the name of the show. "They didn't even finish the name of the show in the sentence when I shouted 'yes,'" said Mandel. "The original The Price Is Right program turns 70 this year. It's ubiquitous, everybody loves it, and now I have a chance to come home and do it." Along with Mandel, 70, the cast includes model and former Miss Universe Canada winner Ashley Callingbull, 26, and Toronto Blue Jays lead announcer Ben Shulman, 24. This program is set to air in prime time, premiering March 10 on Citytv or Citytv+. Mandel, who also returns as a judge on the 20th anniversary season of America's Got Talent this year, says The Price Is Right Tonight is a supercharged Canadian take on the original version. "It's very rare for Canada to take something that already exists globally and make it bigger, better and more exciting. And it is," he said. "We added tension, twists, more time with the people, and all those things in the iconic game you know and love like Cliffhanger and Plinko, but amped up. "That's why we call it The Price Is Right Tonight, because I wanted a prime-time, exciting show more like Deal Or No Deal than a softer, daytime show." |

The Sun is reporting that Channel 4's high-concept series "The Inheritance", a ratings flop when the contest eventually dropped in August, will be canceled after one season The show from Studio Lambert, the makers of The Traitors, featured Elizabeth Hurley as a dead heiress whose fortune the contestants were battling to get a hold of. Rob Rinder featured as a co-host, the executor of her "estate". A TV insider said: "The Inheritance has been widely viewed as a flop, despite all the publicity and having a big star at its heart. "Channel 4 maintains no decision has been made on its future, but many people involved in the debut series are working on the basis that it isn't returning. "Of course there may be some huge changes of mind and the show enjoys a stay of execution, but all the signs are that this is another expensive flop and they're likely to quit while they're behind." The debut episode only attracted half a million views when it debuted, though the ratings grew substantially once catch-up was thrown into the mix. But that still saw it viewed by a relatively modest 1.5 million over 14 days. |

Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ: PSKY) ("Paramount") and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) ("WBD") today announced they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Paramount will acquire WBD, forming a premier global media and entertainment company focused on expanding consumer choice and empowering creative talent worldwide. Under the terms of the agreement, Paramount will pay $31.00 per share in cash for all outstanding shares of WBD. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances and approval by WBD shareholders, with a vote expected in the early spring of 2026. In the event the transaction has not closed by September 30, 2026, WBD shareholders will receive a $0.25 per share "ticking fee" for each quarter (measured daily) until closing. The merger unlocks innovative and compelling storytelling opportunities across the combined company's best-in-class film and television studios, streaming and linear platforms. Together, Paramount and WBD will deliver greater choice for consumers through its leading streaming platforms with an exceptional intellectual property portfolio that has produced popular franchises such as Game of Thrones, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Top Gun, the DC Universe and SpongeBob SquarePants. David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, said: "From the very beginning, our pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery has been guided by a clear purpose: to honor the legacy of two iconic companies while accelerating our vision of building a next-generation media and entertainment company. By bringing together these world-class studios, our complementary streaming platforms, and the extraordinary talent behind them, we will create even greater value for audiences, partners and shareholders - and we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead." David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery said: "I'm very pleased with the outcome we achieved for WBD shareholders and the entertainment industry. Our guiding principle throughout this process has been to secure a transaction that maximizes the value of our iconic assets and our century-old studio while delivering as much certainty as possible for our investors. We look forward to working with Paramount to complete this historic transaction." There are a few consolations. Netflix stock is up today — investors disliked the deal, preferring the streamer as it has mostly been, a finally tuned precision tool, no big complications. Netflix will also walk away with a cool $2.8 billion breakup fee from WBD (but funded by Paramount). And it forced a rival studio to pony up more cash in what will be the biggest leveraged buyout in history. The latest... |

SAG-AFTRA Extends Negotiations to Next Week |
|
SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP announced today that they have agreed to extend negotiations into next week, the week of March 9. This is the final extension for the current block of talks between the two sides as they will be bumping against the planned April 16 start of negotiations between the AMPTP and the WGA. If the actors and the studios cannot reach an agreement next week, SAG-AFTRA will have to go to the back of the line and wait for its turn to resume talks with the AMPTP in June, after the studios have gone through their scheduled contract negotiations with the WGA and the DGA. SAG-AFTRA's current contract expired on June 30. Both the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA have adhered to a media blackout they imposed on their negotiations from the start. According to sources, the two sides have made progress, which would explain why they have agreed to extend talks into next week instead of putting a pin in them for now. While there has been a good amount of movement, there are still some wide chasms on a few key issues, sources caution. We hear the two sides may be exchanging proposals today that could help bridge some of the outstanding gaps and determine whether next week could lead to a deal or not. |

Two former contestants of The Amazing Race have filed a lawsuit against CBS and the show's producers, alleging that the series waged a "smear strategy" against them with its editing. Jonathan and Ana Rivera Towns, a married couple who competed in season 37 of the globetrotting reality competition series, filed their lawsuit Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to Deadline. The outlet reports that the pair are representing themselves against named defendants CBS, parent company Paramount, and producers ABC Signature and Jerry Bruckheimer Films. CBS and Paramount did not immediately respond when Entertainment Weekly reached out for comment. As viewers may remember, the couple was often shown bickering during their journey, with Jonathan, a software developer, seemingly unloading his frustrations on Ana, a stay-at-home mom. Jonathan was even reprimanded more than once for his name-calling and demeaning attitude towards Ana. The duo made it all the way to the finale, ultimately finishing in third place. The suit alleges that the defendants presented "a constructed, false, and highly damaging portrayal" of Jonathan, in ways "that were applied to no other participant in the production." It continues: "The resulting broadcast, disseminated to tens of millions of viewers on a nationally distributed television network, falsely portrayed Jonathan Towns, a private individual with no antecedent public profile, as a morally depraved, brutal and abusive spouse." The suit also claims that, following a "meltdown" and "clear emotional anguish" by Jonathan during the 2024 shooting of the Phil Keoghan-hosted series, he was diagnosed as having autism spectrum disorder. Instead of helping the contestant, the complaint alleges that show producers convinced the couple not to quit the show and assured them there was nothing underhanded occurring with their depiction. The filing claims show producers deliberately painted a portrait of Jonathan as someone engaging in "intentional emotional abuse toward his spouse." The couple is seeking $8 million in damages, as well as a public apology and a re-edit of their season with "appropriate disclaimers" of Jonathan's diagnosis. |
